Patrick Walsh

[daizedoo]

Hello,

I'm looking for info on a Walsh family in the Crossmolina parish in the mid 1800s. Here's what I know:

-Anne Walsh was born around 1856 and lived in Ballybrooney.
-Anne's father was Patrick Walsh.
-Anne married Michael Collins who was born around 1850 and lived in Errew.
-They married in Ballysakeery Church in 1875.

I have their marriage record. She was underage, and her father Patrick was a witness. (That's how I know his name, I know nothing else about him). Maria Walsh was also a witness, but cannot verify if she is Anne's mother or another family member.

-Michael and Anne had two daughters born in Errew: Mary/Maria Collins (b. 1877) and Agnes Ann Collins (b. 1878) before immigrating to the US in 1880. I have both of their baptism records, and I have their immigration record.

-The Collins family lived in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois until Michael died, sometime before the 1910 Census.
-Anne and Michael had 5 more kids, born in the USA: Francis, Edward, Josephine, Kate, and Florence all born in Cook County, Illinois.
-By the 1920 Census, most of the Collins family had relocated to California.

I'm very eager to find out more info on the Walsh family in Ireland and build onto my tree. Who was Anne's mother? Did Anne have siblings? I realize all these names are very common, and I may have reached my limits with digital records.

I'm fairly certain this family is either Anne's brother or a cousin, since it is the right downland and they were very small.

Thanks for any info or tips on where to look next!

Thank you for all the links to browse!

I think the last link you posted is Anne's birth record. I found this as well, which is where I got her birth year from. If she was born in 1856, that would make her underage for her 1875 wedding, so it matches up. Does it say Patrick Anne Walsh and then Anne Walsh below? And the next line is a different couple's birth, or is it related to the Walshes?

It reads to me that Pat and Anne Walsh baptized Ann sponsors were Ed Sweeny and Belinda Sweeny
